You mean sponsoring learning and making records and preserving roman knowledge? Later building the first universities and encouraging experimentation, developements in mathematics and linguistics? The so called Dark Ages were called such because we have a derth of written material from the...

There is a reason why, when the Gospel of John was translated to Chinese; John 1:1 was translated as "In the beginning was the Dao. And the Dao was with God. And the Dao was God."
